Description
Description
The interfaces and libraries for data-streams use a pinned version (at the moment 0.8.19) which make them unusable in most projects that want to import them as dependencies. This is because it forces dependents to use the same version, which is often not possible.
Basic Information
The interfaces and libraries which have a too restrictive version pragma are here:
https://github.com/smartcontractkit/chainlink/tree/develop/contracts/src/v0.8/llo-feeds
A suggestion would be to use ^0.8.0 or even >=0.8.0 for interfaces.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the Solidity interfaces and libraries under contracts/src/v0.8/llo-feeds and locate the pinned 0.8.19 version pragmas. Check how each package is intended to be imported as a dependency. Done means the unnecessarily restrictive version requirements are relaxed while preserving compatibility across the affected interfaces and libraries.
